Monties Bar, the spruced-up running dog of Smith Street, may have had a facelift but it’s still a versatile space that caters for all occasions. This Fitzroy restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

PROFILED BY DEGROOTS MEDIA

The running dog mascot on the signage is the only element that remains of the old Monties. This venue has experienced a complete revamp since its change of ownership in 2007, from its eclectic, bohemian mix of clientele and quirky objets d’art, to a spruced up, slicked back space that still welcomes all comers in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Pressed tin has replaced the corrugated iron bar, and blue velvet banquette seating, ornate mirrors and chandeliers lend a sense of opulence to what could otherwise be an open, cavernous room.

Monties opens for breakfast and lunch with the usual selection of fry-ups, pancakes, focaccias and snacks. In the evening, choose from tapas, pasta and risotto or generous serves of pub-type fare such as burgers, steaks and fish and chips. It’s a nice spot to just enjoy a drink as well with a large, attractive bar area beckoning thirsty guests. Music features on Friday and Saturday nights and the bar is licensed until 3am. Monties really comes into its own as a flexible venue for a party or casual get together with friends. Larger groups are easily accommodated and there is also a separate function room with private bar facilities for a more intimate experience.
